if you require information about travelling to dangerous places, this is the wrong forum , as you have probably found out by now.

Many members here are from the military and have no experience in independent travelling. Some don't even have a passport. They have a strong interest in telling the world how dangerous it is, so they can keep their jobs - and go back home bragging how big and strong they are. If you put them out alone in the wild, many of them will have very small dicks (to use the language they understand). Intellects are also rather underdeveloped (luckily some exceptions - most of them girls), so you can listen here all day long to dogs barking at the moon.

To answer your question: it is pretty easy to enter Iraq from Turkey. At the border town of Silopi you will be approached by local Turkish Kurdish boys who take you over the border in a taxi for US$ 55, taking care of all the formalities. You don't need a prior visa. You will get a stamp stating "Republic of Iraq - Kurdistan Region". Behind the border you must change into a local Iraqi taxi that takes you to Zakho for US$ 7 in about 10 minutes. Taxis are so cheap that you may consider taking one onwards to Dohuk or Erbil. Kirkuk and areas further south are outside of Kurdish control and are considered dangerous for foreigners, but I think that is because fery few people tried. Peter Mathews (check on mosttraveledpeople.com) is an exception and had no problems.

Good luck for your trip! You will surely enjoy it. If you want to see a hot military zone, that is not preying on foreigners, do the drive from Van (Turkey) via Hakkari and Cizre to Silopi. You will soon hope to reach the safety of Northern Iraq...

P.S.: If you need info about visiting the other "interesting" places in the area like Nagorno-Karabakh, Naxcivan, Iran, or anywhere else in the world, please PM.

Best Post of The Fucking Year.

I cannot describe just how great this post is. Explaining why will kill it just as dissection explains a frog but it ceases to be a frog.
